Moscow:
The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin did not congratulate Rishi Sunak on his appointment as Britain’s prime minister because Britain is considered an “unfriendly” country by Moscow.
Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters: “The UK is currently classified as an unfriendly country. So no, a (congratulatory) telegram was not sent.”
